Political issues have decidedly changed within the past few years. All classes of citizens seem to realize it except the Negro. He still votes under the influence of 1863 and the abolition of slavery. Our people are apparently standing with their mack to the future, gazing in rapture at the fast-declining rays of a setting sun. The principles and isms of our early freedom have long since become history. New questions of public policy occupy the stage and we must face about and understand them. Over at Washington just now the spectacle of the House and Senate endeavoring to "revise the tariff downward" so as to take the wind out of Democratic sails, and yet keep it high enough to satisfy "the interests" and protect American Labor. And this is the kernel of the nut. In this "protection to American Labor" the Negro has no lot or interest. The colored orators sent out by the party bosses still tell the dolorous story of emancipation and Democratic hypocrisy. If it were possible to eliminate a few discredited fire eaters from the Democratic party, the best-trained Negro with a microscope could not find the line of difference between the two old parties on the race question. The race question only crops out, like the convenient ghost of the Witch of Endor, when called forth. The trust, the tariff and American labor is the absorbing topic at present and it behooves the Afro-American orators to get busy along these lines. The great struggle of tomorrow will be between labor, organized and unorganized, on the one hand, and combined capital on the other. A few years ago the world roared with laughter when Ignatius Donnelly in his "Cæsar's Column" drew the dismal picture of the coming struggle. But those who have followed the trend of events can see the shadow of coming trouble. Where will the Negro be in the struggle? ORGANIZED LABOR AND THE NEGRO. The struggle between labor and capital has been of long standing. Organized labor is centuries old. In its inception it knew no race; no creed; no nothing, but the betterment of the laboring class. In this day organized labor is for the uplift of the workingman, and has done much to make his arduous conditions more bearable. But it is no longer the all-inclusive organization of yore. It is for the laboring man—but more especially the white man. It is notorious that almost every labor union bars the Negro, and meagre are his chances for a place as an apprentice. The union secures better hours, better wages, and strives to raise the standard of workmanship. To all these benefits the Negro is excluded. We know much of labor unions in the West. Out here almost every form of labor is organized and then federated. And from these unions, except hod-carriers, the Negro is barred. The Negro is a strong, sturdy laborer, possessing exceptional mental capacity and physical energy and endurance. Without the careful training of an apprenticeship, when given a chance, he soon acquires remarkable technical knowledge of any trade. The great mass of the Negroes are laborers. They are a very potential factor in the labor market. Where will they be in the coming struggle? Excluded from the unions, and hounded by the petty, spiteful hatred of ignorant labor claecquers, will they stand shoulder to shoulder with those "who toil in the heat of the day," or will they be forced to those "who toil not, neither do they spin"? IGNORANT PREJUDICE. Elsewhere on this page we reproduce an editorial comment from the Miners' Magazine relating to the very recent decision of the Georgia Board of Arbitration in the case of railroads employing Negro firemen. It is a splendid rebuke to the carping prejudice of the labor union and a strong appeal to the manhood of the nation. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of Georgia protested against the employment of the Negro, and the railroad companies checked the question up to the State Board of Arbitration, and the board decided in favor of the Negro. And the howl goes on. If the labor unions of the nation were honest in their expressed desire to help the struggling laborer, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1909. ORIGINAL IN FOOD CONDITION State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House tronizing The RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, they would demand and insist on the Negro firemen being paid the scale. Over in Wyoming a short time ago a Japanese construction company secured the contract for building the waterworks system. The vision of several thousand Japs flinging dirt and taking in the equivalent roused the ire of the "laboring classes" and a strong protest against the winners of the contract was made. Canada has removed some of the restrictions on Chinese immigration and the conditions confronting the clans of organized labor become daily more complex. And, where will the Negro be in the coming struggle? He's rising! INTELLIGENT UNDERSTANDING. An intelligent understanding of current questions is what our people need. They must turn from the contemplation of the sad-faced martyr and grapple with the present. The Negro must know the causes of financial depression, and have a full knowledge of his relation to labor. He must know these things not as a beautiful theory, but as hard facts. And knowing these things he must place his ballot and his moral influence where it will do the most good. The getting of wealth alone will not solve the problem. We must get ALL that goes to make a people. The lawyers, the teachers, the editors and orators must bring these things clearly before the masses of our people. Race hatred will pass away when both sides can see and intelligently understand the relation they bear to each other. Labor cannot succeed without giving a square, fair deal to ALL the laboring elements. So long as present conditions prevail the efforts of organized labor will be neutralized by the laboring element outside the order. The Negro, as well as any other class, will be forced to stand with his friends. Let us labor to eliminate race hatred in the labor world. RACE HATRED MUST BE STRANGLED The Arbitration Board has practically settled the strike of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in Georgia, and it is needless to say that the railroad company got the best of the settlement. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen made a serious mistake when the organization raised the barriers against the black man, thereby bringing about a race war which could only end in an advantage to the exploiter. The black man filled the position of fireman for one dollar less per day than the white man, and the Brotherhood permitted this injustice to be met out to a race that is struggling against all the prejudices born of the centuries. The smaller parasite in commercial circles in Georgia was in sympathy with the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen in the fight against the Negro, not because the parasite was in sympathy with the labor movement but because of a race hatred, and because the dollar less per day paid to the Negro fireman forced him to economize on the necessities of life. The parasite of the South realized that the white man with a salary of $30 per month above that of his black brother was a more valuable customer and his patronage was more to be desired than the patronage of the miserable wretch who, on account of his color and the hatred against him, was forced to accept in silence one dollar per day less than the white fireman, regardless of the fact that this colored slave of the Georgia Railway Company performed the same service. Had the Brotherhood of Railway Firemen of Georgia been permeated with a spirit of justice and had the membership of the organization a broad grasp of the industrial problem, a battle would have been waged against the Georgia Railway Company until that arrogant corporation recognized the same pay for the same service, whether the service was performed by the Caucasian or the African. If the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen does not reach down its hand to lift the man from below then the man below will drag the Brotherhood to his level, and the railway companies of Georgia and every other state in which the Negro becomes a factor to be reckoned with in the labor market, will give their aid and support in bringing about a condition of almost absolute servitude in the railway service. The labor organizations of today must have a broad foundation, and the doors of unionism must be opened wide to every wage earner, no matter what may be his color or creed, or no matter whether he comes from Southern Europe or the Orient. The time has passed when the white man can afford to lock the doors of the labor organization against the black, brown and yellow races. These races are here, in America, and organized labor must assimilate these races, or else Capitalism will utilize these races to crush unionism wherever possible.—Miners' Magazine. RECORDER DANCY'S OFFICE BREAKS RECORD IN SEVERAL INSTANCES. Washington, D. C., July 6. The fiscal year which has just closed was, according to a statement made a few days ago by Recorder of Deeds Dancy, a recordbreaker in several instances. In the first place, just 1,435 more instruments, exclusive of incorporation papers, were filed for record than in any previous year in the history of that office, 22,922 such instruments being filed, as against 21,487 for the fiscal year of 1906, the previous largest year. In the month just closed 2,478 instruments other than incorporation papers were recorded, the previous largest month being April of this year, when 2,254 were filed June beating the monthly record by 224 instruments. In receipts the year was also another record-breaker, these amounting to $39,713.77, larger by $3,711.47 than in 1907, the previous largest year, and greater by $4,810.92 than in 1908. The unexpected balance for the year was $10,936.67, another record-breaker, that amount exceeding the balance at the close of 1907 the largest up to that time, by $1,191.83, and exceeding the balance turned in last year by $3,065.45. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES New Haven, Conn., July 6.—Among the graduates who received diplomas at Yale last week were Jefferson Ish of Little Rock, Ark., and Phillip Thorne, Jr., of Charleston S. C. St. Louis, Mo., June 28.—Dr. W. H. Mansifee has been appointed physician for the colored public schools here by the Board of Education. Dr. Mansifee's appointment appears to be a popular one. Bear in mind, Mississippi gets a whole day at the Business Men's League at Louisville, Ky. That's what comes of being real smart. The diligent are always rewarded. Booker T. Washington is the schoolmaster in the instance. Kansas City was lucky in that it was chosnn as the meeting place of the next A. M. E. Quadrennial Conference by the Council of Bishops of that church. It is thought that in a money way the conference will mean $50,000 to that city. Bert A. Williams always seems to be about a mile ahead of the song-singing comedian of these days. Moreover, he produces the sort of compositions that no other performers is able to get hold cf. Every song seems to be filled with home-spun philosophy, and a strange, sweet melody all his own. His latest song hit is "That's a-Plenty." The Liberal party of Cuba is on the eve of a most disturbing split because their leader, Senor Del Gado, the Negro president of the Senate, was turned down as the choice for head of the National NO. 44 lottery. There should be no such national graft, but in case there is the division should be liberal. Governor Gilchrist of Florida, the Independence Day orator at Tammany Hall declared that President Taft's plans to break the solid South would fail because of the race problem. Either the Governor mistakes the "spirit of 1776" or the President mistakes the present spirit of the South. Atlanta, Ga., July 5.—During the taking of testimony in the Georgia Railroad strike, W. K. Smith, general superintendent of the Atlanta Coast Line Railroad stated that Negroes did not have sufficient presence of mind to be good engineers. As firemen, however, he said they are both intelligent and capable. General Manager Thomas K. Scott, of the Georgia Railroad, testified that the Georgia Railroad had no reason to complain of the services of the Negro firemen in its employ, some of whom had served the road faithfully for years. NEW YORK WHITE TEACH ERS OBJECT TO COL- ORED PRINCIPAL New York, July 2.—Twenty teachers—about half the staff at Public School No. 125, in Wooster street, Manhattan have applied for transfers, owing to the assignment by the Board of Education of William L. Bulkley as head of the school. Bulkley is classified by race as a Negro, but in appearance is said to be almost white. The school is known as a part time school, owing to its overcrowded condition, and there is said to be fewer than 50 Negro children in it. Most of the pupils are of Italian parentage. Buckley has been for several years a public school principal in New York, and has had charge of a night school also. Industrial training is said to be a sort of hobby with him. A vacancy occurred in the Wooster street school through the transfer of the principal. Then, on the eve of the summer vacation, came the announcement that a Negro principal had been sent there. Some of the teachers were up in arms at once. They held a meeting to decide on a course of action. Various plans were proposed, but they were told they had a right to apply for transfers, and 20 of them ost no time in doing so. Bulkley dropped around to look over his new charges just before school closed. It is said the feeling of good will be expressed for the teachers did not have a very enthusiastic effect and no resolutions of regret were passed after he went away. He sailed for Europe Wednesday on his annual vacation. Miss M. Cowden Hair Dressing Parlor. Shampoo. cutting and curling Boalp treatment, bair tonics, hair straightening, manicuring.

Of Course Older Matrons All Have Their Own Way of Doing It, But They May Find Something New Here. The following is a good recipe for bread; sift eight cupfuls of flour into a basin, add three teaspoonfuls of salt and three teaspoonfuls of sugar. Mix a yeast cake with one teaspoonful of sugar and a cupful of tepid water, and leave in a warm place for a few minutes, It it does not rise, the yeast is unfit to use. Pour it into the center, stir into {t a little of the flour, gradually add six cupfuls of warm water about 100 de- grees F.; if too hot, it will kill ‘the yeast, which is a living vegetable sub- stance, and which must multiply in the bread. Mix thoroughly with a knife, cover with a clean cloth, place in a moder- ately warm place, about 75 degreesF.; out of draughts. Leave till the batter is covered with bubbles. | Work in three or four cupfuls of flour, cutting and beating it with a knife, turn it out onto a floured baking board, knead it rapidly and firmly for about 15 minutes, adding two heaping tablespoonfuls of lard during the kneading. Butter the basin, lay the dough in it, brush it over with melted butter, ‘cover once more and allow to rise in @ warm place until it has expanded to about twice its original size. Turn out onto the baking board, knead for five minutes, and cut the dough into three dr four pieces. Make into neat loaves, place into buttered pans, allow to rise once more to fill the pans. Brush over with milk. Bake in a hot oven until ready. To tell if the bread is cooked through, knock it sharply under- neath; if it gives out a hollow sound, it is done. When baked, lay the loaves on their sides to let the steam escape. Do not put them in a very cold place, or the steam will condense and make the bread heavy. _ The Home-— Living rooms should be placed in the best positions for sunshine and dry air. Sleeping rooms should always have plenty of sunshine. _ A bathroom should have one win- dow at least. Stairways and closets ought to have a means of lighting and venti- lating.

Though windows are not primarily for ventilation most houses are de- pendent on them for it. Baked Bananas. Pull down a section of skin from each banana, loosen the pulp from the skin, remove all coarse threads that adhere to the pulp and return the pulp to the skin in {ts original position; lay the fruit thus prepared in an agate pan and bake in a hot oven until the skins are blackened and the pulp is softened. Remove pulp from the skin without injury to shape, bend in a half clr cle and dispose in a serving dish; sprinkle with powdered sugar and fine chopped nuts and serve as a des: sert dish; or pour over a Richelieu or @ currant jelly sauce and serve as an entree with broiled or roasted meat. Gold Found on French Island. Kerguelen, or the Island of Desoia- tion, may be the scene of the next gold rush. Situated midway between the Cape of Good Wope and Australia, it is one of the dreariest and most for- bidding spots on the surface of the globe. But the captain of a brig, the Carmen, who spent four months there hunting sea elephants, has made a discovery which may lead to impor tant developments. He picked up a pretty little nugget of gold among the pebbles while walking on the shore. ‘The Carmen has arrived at Melbourne with 150 tons of oil, the product of a couple of thousand sea elephants shot by the captain and his men, They also report the discovery of valuable de- posits of coal, which they declare to be excellent fuel. Kerguelen belongs to France by right of disoovery. ‘THE Ward Auction Co The Old and Only. 1728.30 Arapahoe St. Denver, £22) = Colorado Private Residence Sales a Specialty Regular Sales every day in the week (except Sunday) TELEPHONE 1675 Furnitures and bankrupt Stock: ronght for oash or sold on com waieoiun IOWA MAN DRAWS FIRST NUMBER AND SELECTS 80-ACRE TRACT. SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN REGISTRATIONS APPEAR ON THE BOOKS. Denver.—A Durango special to the Republican Thursday night says: Ivan Diggs of Des Moines, ja, held the lucky number at the land drawing at Ignacio City today which gave him the privilege of the first filing and with- out hesitation he chose $0 acres six miles from the railroad, almost at the extreme southern end of the 1,600-acre tract being disposed of under the Carey act. Diggs’ number was 98. ‘The second person entitled to file was A. E. Kinsley of Liberal, Kan. He ‘had registered for 160 acres and se- ected a piece near the railroad, and ‘not far from Ignacio City. Ernest L. Kitely was the third man to have his name drawn from the box. | ‘There had been 707 registrations and at 6 o'clock tonight, when the drawings closed for the day, about 250 ames had been drawn and of this number less than 100 had filed upon their land. The drawings cannot be completed before late tomorrow and possibly not until Saturday. The drawing did not commence until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. A special train this morning from Durango carried 200 homeseekers and others who went out of curiosity Other conveyances and the regular train carried as many more, so that ‘there were from 700 to 800 people on ‘the ground. Many of those present “held power of attorney for at least a half dozen others, ‘The feeling among the people today was good, nearly all of the dissatis- fled ones having left without waiting for the drawing. The drawing was conducted by Messrs. Rich, Donovan and Bisbee of the State Land Board and went off smoothly. Numbers representing the 707 registrations were placed in a box, shaken up and then taken out one at a time, The holders of num- bers were each given five minutes in which to make their selections. In case they did not wish to file, they were passed and another number drawn. A feature of the drawing was the ab- sence of any attempt to dispose of chances at a profit, all of those who drew today being satisfied with their selections, There are 400 pieces of land to be disposed of and each person entitled to file selects either 40, 80, 120 or 160 acres, according to the amount of money deposited at the time of regis- tration. ‘The registration fee was $170 for each 40 acres, $10 of which is 10 go to the government, at the rate of 25 cents an acre, and $4 an acre being | the first payment for water. | ‘The next payment for water rights will not be required until Jan. 1, 1911, and the time to be given for the total of $46.75 an acre for the land is {ive years. { ‘The Colorado Land & Water Com- | pany, in charge of the drawing, is un- der $37,500 bond to have the irrigating system completed by April 1, 1910. ‘The contract for the work has been let to | the firm of Henderson & Loftus, whieh | is under heavy bond, and work is ex- | pected to start within a short time, so that the main canal will be completed by December 1 next. Battle With Pittsburg Strikers. Pittsburg.—Seventy-five men, six of whom will die, were wounded in a pitched battle between the constabu- lary and the strikers of the Pressed Steel Car Company’s works at Me- Kee's Rocks, near this city, shortly before noon Wednesday. Sheriff Gumbert has issued a proclamation warning everyone to keep away from the steel company’s plant, under pen- alty of being shot. The battle was precipitated when the mounted con- stabulary attempted to disperse a party of strikers at O'Donovan’s bridge. Insists On Corporation Tax, Washington—That President Taft “stands right where he stood all along,” and will insist upon the adop- tion of the corporation tax amend ment, is the substance of a report made to the tariff conference ‘Thurs- day by Senator Aldrich and Represen- tative Payne.

Denver.—An Aspen dispatch Wed- nesday night says: Ray Light, the eighteen-year-old son of Hon. Fred Light of this city, was struck by lightning last night at the family’s summer home on Sopris creek, eight- een miles from here, and instantly killed. ‘Three sisters were rendered wncon- scious by the bolt, and one of them, Helen, aged ten, is not expected to live. A heavy storm came up about 8 o'clock in the evening, and Ray, with his four sisters, went into the cellar near the house, the rest of the family staying in the house. The lightning struck a farm implement near the house and from it glanced off in sev- eral directions, one bolt passing into the cellar and another breaking sev- eral window lights of the house. Another brother started to the door to see if the house was on fire and met a sister coming from the cellar who eried that Ray and her three other sisters had been killed. ‘The news of the accident did not reach here until this morning. Mr. Light, a former state representative, is one of the best known cattle rais ers in this section. ‘The storm last night was the most severe in years and the lightning the most vivid ever known in Pitkin county, Twice within ten minutes the lightning struck the Light ranch. ‘The Colorado Dental Association at {ts convention in Colorado Springs elected the following officers for the ensuing year: President, Dr. W.

Great Steel Cavern Which Will Hold $500,000,000 Completed—Reached by Electric Elevator—Wound with 17 Miles of Wire. Washington.—Tourists rarely will see one of the most imposing of the new sights in Washington—the great steel vault in the Treasury building, where the $500,000,000 of emergency currency will be stored. This vault, which was begun under the administration of Assistant Secretary Louis A. Coolidge and is an accomplishment of which he properly is very proud, is completed and in working order, except that the telephone connection was inadvertently omitted. It is in the northwest corner of the building, directly under the office of the division of issue and its roof is 25 feet below the surface of the street and five feet below the sub-basement of the Treasury building. In fact, it is almost under the foundation stones of the building itself, for they protrude into the vault on the south side and form a convenient shelf, which the clerks find useful as a temporary receptacle for packages which they are assembling to take upstairs. The vault is reached only by an electric elevator which opens only into the office of the chief of the division of issue. It is wholly of steel and about 55 feet long by 20 feet wide and 18 feet high, and is divided into two stories. The second story has a grated floor, like that of a marine engine-room, and both floors are fitted with stacks much like those in use in public libraries. There is nothing uncanny and little that is awe-inspiring in the first glimpse of this great treasure-house, the greatest in the United States and one of the most important in the world. The vault is as light as day and the cool air is drawn down by a powerful fan, which delivers it through a score or more tiny apertures, like slits in a letter box, in all parts of the room. The new vault is used for reserve stores only; the money is actually issued from the old vault, opening out from the office of the division of issue, four flights up. Seventeen miles of fine wire are wound around this steel cavern and the slightest disturbance of any one of these tiny wires, the like of which you see in the glass door, would sound a bell in the main office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, in F street, and in a jiffy the department would be notified. During the hours when the vault is officially open, this signal would be disconnected or disregarded, but the moment the vault is closed the Western Union by contract with the government fixes sleepless eyes upon the signal boxes. Dickinson Warned in Time. Washington.—Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson narrowly escaped recently from usurping one of the prerogatives of congress. Having been pestered daily for ten days by newspaper men who wished to know the contents of the engineers' report on the Chicago-to-the-Gulf waterway, the secretary took enough interest to promise the newspaper men that he would provide them with excerpts of the report the day before it went to congress. Then it occurred to one of the reporters that the genial secretary would find himself in hot water on capitol hill if he anticipated a document demanded by a resolution of congress, and he called the secretary's attention to this fact. "Well, you fellows will have to steer me straight about these matters," said the secretary. "I hope to find out how things are done here if I stay long enough." Teeth Were Against Him. Senator Curtis of Kansas, has a dentist constituent who wished to enter the dental corps of the navy. The senator went to the navy department and secured a permit for the man to take the examination, which he did and came through with flying colors. Then he was called up for physical examination and was rejected because of the poor condition of his teeth. picture was made was taken while the consider the tariff bill. An hour's ex- ture. SENATOR M'ENERY POLITE. Why He "Listened" So Attentively to Aldrich's Speech—Story of the Sympathetic Creole. Washington—Senator McEnery of Louisiana, is rather hard of hearing, but is very polite. He tenaciously held his seat in the senate chamber while Senator Aldrich delivered a speech. "I noticed you listened to Senator Aldrich very attentively," said a friend, after adjournment. "How's that?" demanded Senator McEnery. "You paid a great deal of attention to Senator Aldrich's speech!" bawled the friend. Senator McEnery grinned. "That reminds me of the story of the Creole down in Louisiana," Senator McEnery said. "He met a northern man named Brown in the hotel, Brown was ill. My Creole friend sympathized with him and when he left Brown when he felt better to send around to his house and get his horse and carriage for a drive. "In a few days Brown had recovered. He sent a boy around for the Creole's rig. 'Why, I haven't any horse or carriage,' said the Creole. 'But you told Mr. Brown to send around for them when he got well enough to drive out,' protested the boy. "Oh, hell, that was politeness!" responded my Creole friend. "The truth is, I didn't hear a word of Aldrich's speech." Ways of the Correspondent. Washington—A newspaper correspondent received a tip that the interior department had in its possession a report on the Mexican oil fields which contained some interesting information of particular value in view of the movement to get a duty on petroleum. He went to the officials of the department and tried to get a look at the report, but it was denied him. He verified the existence of the report, but could get no definite idea of its contents. He then went to Senator Cummins of Iowa and told him about the report, suggesting that if the senate made a demand upon the secretary of the interior for it doubtless the demand would be complied with. Mr. Cummins himself admitted a curiosity to know what was in the report and so he introduced and had passed a resolution calling upon the secretary of the interior for a copy of the document. In this manner the way was opened for the news item which the officials had denied the correspondent. Died Some Time Ago. Washington. — Congressman "Ned" Taylor of Ohio was accosted in the rotunda of the capitol by a stranger the other day while the services in honor of Maj. Pierre Charles I'Enfant, the French engineer who designed the national capital, were in progress. "What is all the excitement about?" asked the stranger, nodding his head in the direction of the crowd surrounding the catafalque. "Maj. I'Enfant is dead," almost whispered the congressman, as he removed his hat impressively. "Is that so? Well, I am certainly sorry to hear it," replied the stranger, who also removed his hat in sorrowful reverence. "When did he die? "I think it was in 1825, but I'm not sure about the date," was the reply of the congressman. Ban Placed on Roosters. Washington.—Here is a genuine suffragette victory and right in the capital of the nation! Roosters may no longer be kept in the District of Columbia. This is the principal burden of the new "chicken" regulations promulgated the other day by the health department of the district. The rules specify under what conditions chickens may be kept, stipulating just what care must be given the chicken houses and yards. But the gem of this series of "chicken regulations" is the following: "VI. No roosters may be kept on the premises." A fine of from $2 to $10 a day is provided for all violations. The police say they are tired of the complaints of citizens who own alarm clocks and don't want to be awakened by cock crow. Hence the rule. Victor Murdock of Kansas began the printer's trade at 10; became a newspaper reporter at 15, and at 20 was a reporter on a Chicago newspaper. DENVER PACKING HOUSE INDUSTRY NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED THOUS SAND CATTLE RECEIVED AT DENVER MARKET. MOSTLY PASS THROUGH GREAT BENEFITS THAT WOULD ACCRUE TO STATE BY SLAUGHTERING THEM IN COLORADO. There were received and weighed at the Denver market in 1908, 395,164 head of cattle. The excess hides from these over and above what were used in the home tannery amounted to 227 cars of green and 44 cars of dry hides shipped to eastern markets to be tanned into leather and reshipped to Colorado in the finished product. It seems logical to conclude that if our home factories in the manufacture of leather goods, such as shoes, harness, trunks, valises, art leather, belts, suspenders, etc., were given preference over the imported articles that it would not be necessary to ship hides to eastern markets to be made into leather. The Denver tannery at present employs fifteen men at an average wage of $2.25 per day. It should be possible to increase this to 150 men with an annual payroll disbursement of $102,163. Denver and Colorado packers are rapidly increasing their distributive territory and a brief history of this great commercial factor may prove interesting. The packing industry in Denver was commenced in the year 1872, at which time the firm of Hoffer Brothers established a small plant in this city. In 1876 the plant was taken over by Walters, Alcher and Walters, and a short time afterwards this plant was in turn taken over by the Standard Meat and Live Stock Company, and by them operated to the present day. In 1882 Smith Brothers of Denver built a small plant near the present stock yards for the purpose of killing hogs and carried on a considerable business of this character and afterwards incorporated the slaughtering of cattle and sheep. This plant is now owned and operated as the Denver Packing and Provision Company. In 1885 Burkhardt Brothers opened a small plant of their own. In 1888 the first of the large plants was inaugurated under the name and style of the Colorado Packing and Provision Company. Mr. Henry Gebhardt established this plant and operated it until a year ago, when he turned the management over to his son Charles. In 1894 Smith and Brothers opened another small plant, which is still in operation. In 1903 the largest plant of them all, the Western Packing Company, was capitalized and managed by Denver capital and men, Mr. Claude Boettcher being the active working manager of this plant, which has grown to magnificent proportions. In 1903 the Coffin Packing & Provision Company also opened up a very successful slaughtering and packing business, which is under the management of W. N. W. Blayney, president. This makes in all six packing plants located at the stock yards. The aggregate number of employees in these six plants is about 1,700 men. The average wage, about $3.00 per day. Say that 1,500 of these men are heads of families, with an average family of four, one can arrive at the figure that they represent in the population of the city. The following statistics show the receipts of live stock at the Denver Union Stock Yards in 1908, and the number slaughtered by Colorado packing plants. The balance were shipped to eastern markets to be handled through the packing houses at St. Louis and Chicago and reshipped to Colorado in the finished product: Total number of cars received—18,675. There are, as stated above, six packing and slaughtering plants at the stock yards with a capacity to handle three times the quantity that is slaughtered here at the present time, and Colorado packers are ready to enlarge their plants and increase their capacity for supplying the demand as rapidly as necessity requires, and Colorado people are the market channel that they depend on for distribution to maintain and increase the prosperity of the packing house industry in our home state. The purchase of food products depend largely upon the lady of the house, and her cooperation is earnestly solicited in alding the Colorado Manufacturer's Association in their campaign for greater loyalty to Colorado made goods. Another matter for consideration. There is annually shipped into Colorado 16,000,000 pounds or 800 carloads of packing house products. Think what it would mean if our Colorado institutions could have this amount added to their output. As stated before, an increase in the production necessitates a corresponding increase in number of employees, which adds to the payrolls for distribution at home. The quality of hogs slaughtered in Colorado is equal if not superior to any slaughtered in the United States. Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska being our source of supply, the pigs are raised on alfalfa and fattened on corn, giving a fine grain to the meat. The meat is more firm and better grade than that of hogs raised further east. The same is true of western fed beef. In fact, Colorado produces the equal in grades of beef, veal, pork and mutton of any country in the world. The question of cattle feeding is also one that will have to be taken up by the live stock men and farmers of this section.

With a desire to meet the wants of the people, and to place before the reading public, more advantageously than here-tofore, the salient facts of our people's progress, both here and elsewhere, this paper will be sold by newsboys on the streets every Saturday. In addition, we shall place our paper in all the hotels and public places, that ALL may have an opportunity to know the good things our people are doing as well as the bad. It is notorious that our daily papers find little space for ought but the criminal conduct. Their pages teem with the reports of brawls, gambling raids, and such as serves to inflame the public mind. The Colorado Statesman believes that the truth about our people should be known. That the whole people should know of the material, mental, and moral progress, we are constantly making. This movement is not launched because it is expected to be a financial success, but because we feel it our bounden duty to do all within our power to help lighten "the black man's burden."

There is no limit to the career of an author gifted with a sense of humor, who knows how to observe people and things. The stage wants types, character, novelty. It is crying for the man with the gift of observation to arrange these elements into an entertaining and consistent story. Of course what I shall have to say concerns comedy. I leave tragedy to those whose nature doesn't yearn for a laugh. If you would write for the theater of that great multitude which seeks relaxation from the sterner and the humdrum, go out into the highways and the sea. our conductors, cabmen, chauffeurs, bricklayers, tramps. And don't forget that every play must have the love of feminine.

Again an experience, I once took the scrubwoman of the theater of a scrubwoman on the stage.

RICHARD CARL Wages of Men and Women By P. A. CONRADI Airships Tend to Promote Peace By K. LUDWIG RAU Gift of Observation Necessary For Success Several gatherings of workingwomen in France and Germany recently argued the old question of the difference in the wages paid to women and men who do the same kind of work. If the lesser and local issues, of local importance only, are eliminated, these questions of international interest remain: 1. Is the existing difference in wages of male and female workers justified by the difference in the working ability of the two sexes? 2. If a difference in working ability exists, what gives occasion for it? The advent of the airship sounds the death knell of war. Airships constructed on the most advanced and scientific lines and fitted out with the death-dealing explosive of war, soaring over the cities, fortresses and battleships of the enemy, can put all of them out of action within a comparatively short time without exposing themselves to great harm or danger. There is scarcely any protection from airships, and it is for that reason that war must come to an end. Nations will recognize the futility of going to war, knowing that death-dealing invulnerable airships have it S&N GARMENT STORE 925-16TH ST. OPP.

These to- taled 13,173,340,329. A large propor- tion of these consisted of newspapers, for which no stamps are used. But in addition to the stamps which were sold a tiny rifle of 1,266,602,559 stamped envelopes and wrappers was sold by the department. These Uncle Sam began to sell in 1852, when he placed a round 5,000,000 on the mar- ket. The figures for the mail handled wer begun in 1886, when Uncle Sam carried 3,474,000,000 pieces of mail. ‘The figures have quadrupled in a lit tle more than twenty years. In 1879, when Uncle Sam's postoffice started business withBenjamin Frank- lin as postmaster general, there were seventy-five postoffices, and in the first year of their operation they did $37,935 worth of business, at an ex- pense of $32,140. Since then the balance has moved to the other side of the ledger, and for the last year the revenues of the department were the pretty little sum of $191,478,633, while the expenditures were $203,351,- 886. ‘The number of postoffices jumped from 75 to 61,158; the extent of the post routes from 1,875 to 450,738; the miles of mail service performed from a little over 800,000 to 538,438,722, and the compensation of the postmasters from $88,198 Sto $25,599,397. The most astounding growth was marked by the rural free delivery service, It was begun in 1897, with 83 routes, covering 1,843 miles, at an expense of $14,840. Last year ii had grown to 39,143 routes, with 891,432 miles, and costing $34,500,000. » LIK Le & ie 9: GF} n/N £4, oop WW Secron eum °° read an official fairy tale in ‘fis- ures of the nation’s commercial pros- ress get a copy of the latest buncii of postoffice statistics, just issued by A. L. Lawshe, the third assistant post: master general. How he got all the figures on one page is still a mystery, but he cer- tainly suceeded in piling up enough millions and billions to make any one’s head swim. Counting postage stamps must be a lot like counting the grains of sand at the sea. At any rate, these carctul counters of Uncle Sam's postoffice de- partment have found out that last year the department issued 7,651,400,- 405 of the little sticky things. An overheated figurer, who doesn't work for the postoffice department, figured out that if these little squares of paper were placed end to end they would run a couple of thousand fect over 120,760 miles. A footnote to the statistics shows that Uncle Sam didn’t begin printing postage stamps until July 1, 1847. The first year he succeeded in putting 800,380 on the market. Last year he issued 9,500 times that many—a fair- ly decent increase in the postotlice business in fifty-two years. ‘The biggest figure on the page is the one that designates the numberof pieces Miscellaneous Account of the Senate Last, but not least, is that elastic account headed as “miscellaneous items.” ‘The senate’s pin money pays for all the telegrams senators send and the replies. It supplies ice without stint; one month's bill, that for December, having been $248.58. It provides Ap- polinaris, White Rock and other spe- cial waters, Poland Spring being fa- vored because Senator Hale of Maine introduced it years ago. This water has come to possess a traditional standing as the proper thing—of its kind—to slack the senatorial thirst. ‘The miscellany fund buys type writers and bicycles, horses, wagons, and, maybe, an auto or two, although none are found listed in the classified accounts. No senator was ever seen upon a bicycle. There are bicycle messengers, however, and the senate, being a big-hearted institution, gives the necessary machine. From January 1 to 31, 1908, Ida Bamiley received $122.10 for washing and ironing 407 dozen towels for the senate. In the same month A. L. Ford got $79.80 for washing and iron- ing 266 dozen towels. During the same 31 days Edith A. Washington profited to the sum of $66.60 for wash- ing and ironing 222 dozen towels. Problem: How would you like to be the washerwoman? are | f fa En! > AA, x] cole — Ree T HE United States senate—pay, maintenance, odds and ends— costs about $2,000,000 a year. To be exact, the amount was $1,859,189.77, according to the last report rendered by Charles G. Bennett, secretary of the senate. The latter sum figures to $19,500 each per each of 92 senators. The money goes for a thousand and one things that classify between sal- aries and snuff. Compensation and mileage of senators’ notably the mile- age, requires a tidy sum. Pages, mes- sengers, special police, clerks, private secretaries, minor senate officers, the senatorial army of retainers use up another large lump. Repairs, new furniture, the senate library, the sen- ate stable, stationery and newspapers, the expense accounts of senate emis- saries, the cost of the upkeep and ex- pense of special committees, report- ing senate debates and committee meetings, all form just a few of the other varieties through which the spare change of the senate flows in a steady stream.

It Was Their Question, A party of young men were camp- ing, and to avert annoying questions they made it a rule that the one who asked a question that he could not an- swer himself had to do the cooking. One evening while sitting round the fire, one of the boys asked: “Why is it that a ground squirrel never leaves any dirt at the mouth of its burrow?” They all guessed and mused. So he was asked to answer it himself. “Why,” said he, “because they al- ways begin to dig at the other end of the hole.” “But,” asked one, “how does he get to the other ena of the hole?” “Well,” was the reply, “that's your question.”—Cleveland Leader. dhecial Round Trip Homeseekers’ Rates to New Mexico and Texas.

Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props, Boston, Time to Change Subject. The Courier-Journal tells of this embarrassing statement made by a well-known Louisville woman who is known as “saying things without thinking.” Her daughter was enter- taining a young man on the front porch and the mother was standing at the fence talking to the neighbors next door. In the yard of the latter was a baby a little over a year old, and it was trying to walk. “You shouldn't let it walk so young,” ad- vised the thoughtless matron. “Wait until it’s a little older. I let my daughter walk when she was about that age, and it made her bow-legged.” The young man began to talk ener- getically about the weather. whe Same Old dohn: ck. Old John L. Sullivan always had a fine Irish wit, and it remains with hin in his advanced age. Not long age ho was appearing in a Baltimore theater and the manager, for business rea- sons, introduced him to a wealthy youth of the town. The youth was a typicat chollyboy, the sort of a speci: men that old John abhors. Sullivan was washing his face in .the theater dressing room when the two arrived, and they waited patiently until he had finished his ablutions. When John had dried his countenance he gave the dude one look, and then said to the manager: “Well, I congratulate you, Jack, is it a boy or a girl?” Next Best. A certain young minister in Phila- delphia, recently ordained, is still very nervous and sometimes his remarks do not convey exactly the meaning he intended. A few Sundays ago he rose, fumbled with the papers on his desk, blushed, and then said: “My Friends: I—I am sorry to say that I have lost the notes for my ser- mon, and 1 therefore cannot deliver it. I will have to do the next best thing, therefore, and read a few chap- ters from the Bible!”—Illustrated Sun @uy Magazine. ORIGIN Of a Famous Human Food. The story of the great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct, was led to study va- rious foods and their effects upon the human system. In other words, be- fore he could carry out his plans he had to find a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food which was a brain and nerve builder (rather than a mere fat maker) was universally needed. He knew that meat with the ayerage man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brain and nerve centers is made from Albumen and Phosphate of Potash vbdtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. It contains the brain and nerve building food elements in condition sor easy digestion. ‘The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi- ness and marked activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavour is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. ‘The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen on each genuine package of Grape-Nuts.

THE Colorado Statesman 1824 Curtis Street Room 25 --- A Design in Outline in Old Blue on Gray Linen, with Fashionable Darned Background. Design in Outline in Old Blue on Gray Linen, with Fashionable Darned Background. AFTERNOOON tea on the porch is one of the most pleasant features possible on a summer day, and it is essential that the appointments of the tea table should be in keeping with the shady coolness of the porch. For this cloth, simple designs and materials of a rather rustic texture are the most effective, such as home spun linen, linen huckabuck and crash. is grayish linen with outline stitch in dark old blue, darning in lighter blue, and the lace matching the darker shade. One motif for the border and one half of the corner are given, to be traced on the linen by means of carbon paper and a hard lead pencil. A plain, two-inch hem is put in, with a row of outline stitch five inches above Among the most attractive of the tea cloths are those with the design outlined and the background filled in with darning stitch. Such a one is shown in the sketch. The water lily design is outlined with dark green floss, and the background filled in with a lighter shade of green—a delightfully leafy, silvery shade like June foliage. The material is natural color crash, and the Cluny lace edge is dyed to match the darker green in the embroidery. Another equally pretty color scheme - Blue serge is very useful for costumes of this description. The skirt is quite plain, and is finished at the foot by a single row of stitching. White cloth is used for the collar and cuffs of the semi-fitting coat, which fastens down center of front by three large smoke-pearl buttons. Hat of straw, trimmed with a wreath of flowers and two quills. Materials required: Six yards serge 48 inches wide, one-fourth yard wide cloth, three buttons, four yards lining for coat. Cravat with Double Ends. If you have a strip of brown silk, taffetta or messaline, and a little silk in pretty contrasting color, such as ecu, delicate green or blue, make one of the new cravats with double ends. These are cut like a man's string tie, but with a difference. A perfectly plain bias fold of the silk is used to go round the neck, but where it meets in front each end branches off into two parts, giving four ends in all. These ends are all lined with silk of a contrasting color. The effect when tied is very pretty. The cavat must not be less than a yard in length. is grayish linen with outline stitch in dark old blue, darning in lighter blue, and the lace matching the darker shade. One motif for the border and one-half of the corner are given, to be traced on the linen by means of carbon paper and a hard lead pencil. A plain, two-inch hem is put in, with a row of outline stitch five inches above it, and another row five inches from this, which forms the top of the border. Then the motifs are placed between the two rows, outlined, and the background filled in. The cloth when completed should be one yard square, with a two-inch edge of lace for a finish. It is advisable to use a good grade of floss, so that it will not fade, and in washing it is well to put a good handful of table salt in the water to set the color. The cloth is quickly and easily made, and the result sure to be pleasing. NOVELTY IN HOME AQUARIUM One That Is Made with a Picture Frame Front and Intended to Hang on the Wall. A novelty in balanced or self-sustaining home aquariums is made to hang up on the wall like a picture. The tank is oblong, narrow at the bottom, but wider at the top. The side to go against the wall is vertical, while the front slopes up outward, as a picture hangs, and this outer side is in fact surrounded with a picture frame. The back and ends of this aquarium are inclosed in a metallic holder, with hooks at the top by which it may be hung, and at the back between this metallic holder and the back wall of the glass tank is inserted a picture, a landscape having at the bottom in the foreground a brook. The bottom of the tank is covered with gravel, and set in the water is suitable vegetation sufficient to please the eye and to keep the water aerated, and then of course there are the fishes, and when you have it thus stocked you hang this aquarium up on the wall to have the effect of a picture with fishes swimming around in it. Water. Are you forgetting to drink the proper amount of water every day? Do you drink two glasses before breakfast? You should. But by all that is hygienic do not take your water until your mouth has been rinsed with an antiseptic and your teeth thoroughly cleansed. People who know tell us that an acid forms during the night in the mouth and around the teeth. This acid will decay the teeth, therefore common sense tells us it is not good for the stomach; it certainly should not be washed down there deliberately anyway. But a cold bath for the average stomach is a tonic just as it is for the body. Try it. To Improve the Neck. To fatten the neck massage with warm olive oil. A good cold cream is excellent, but the best results are obtained with the olive oil. To apply this first wash the neck with warm water and a mild, pure soap, then rinse carefully and apply a cloth or flannel wrung out of hot water and folded several times. This compress is kept on until it begins to cool, and then another is supplied, but do not prolong the treatment more than ten minutes. This softens the skin and opens the pores. The oil, slightly warmed, should be rubbed in, giving especial attention to the hollows, which should be massaged with a firm rotary motion Washington, D.
